Episode notes
Today we’re going offroad from Bitcoin mining into an adjacent subject, decentralized storage. We are joined by Bill Schreckenstein, an engineer at Protocol Labs focused on building a decentralized alternative to cloud computing such as AWS.
Bill gives us the inside scoop on Filecoin–a decentralized network for storing data. We talk about the actors, the economics and how it compares to Bitcoin mining.
